Which Decor Type Are You?

I bought a new book shelf and finally set it up in my living room. Now it’s like an empty canvas ready to be decorated. But how will it look like? What decor vignettes shall I create? Questions over questions. Maybe I have to consult my own decor persona. But who is my decor persona? And which decor type are you?

I assume there are as many decor personae as individuals out there, in a nutshell: countless! But here are eight self-defined decor types I sort of feel and like.

The Creative Reader
You love books but they always seem to look like a nerve-wracking clutter and seem to be only stuffy and chaotic? Here is a simple yet beautiful styling vignette putting some favorite books into scene – add a few props like framed art, a plant, a desk lamp and some more details up on the wall and voilà – your vignette is ready!

The Refined Ceramicist
You love ceramics and your vase and bowls collection is taking over the reign in your room? Try to highlight one or two pieces at a time by placing them on a shelf, sideboard or sidetable. Add some twigs or leafy branches into them and sip your coffee the way you like it – as a refined ceramicist.

The Breezy Sailor
Who says you have to live coastal to be a breezy sailor. Feel the sea breeze in your hair and enjoy the splashing waves by grouping together your favorite decor items with a nautical theme. Make one item the statement piece – like in this case the paiting – and group a few thematic props together adding various textures to the styling. Combine blue hues and natural tones and there you go – can you hear the foghorn hooting, you breezy sailor?

The Rustic Minimalist
You love a dash of rustic style but you don’t want to be mistaken as a Rosamunde Pilcher fanatic? Minimize the scale of your rustic home decor and keep it airy and natural. Play along with nature inspired colours, prefer natural materials like wood and group a few pieces together adding some greens for that rustic vibe. Here we go, you rustic minimalist!

The Eclectic Artist
You are creative, you are chaotic, you see the things others don’t see, you reflect and interpret – in a nutshell: you are an artist. You have this artsy approach in your home decor too – handmade pieces, treasures brought home from numberless voyages, your sketches, art, plants, bric-à-brac – again in a nutshell: you’re eclectic. Here it’s all about the composition of your eclectic collection. Think colours, sizes, textures, play around, shuffle and reshuffle – here it is, the work of a true eclectic artist!

The Natural Bohemian
You are a child of nature, you love weekends in the green, exploring the mountains, traveling in your trailor. You love the local farmers’ market, you are connected to the elements and the world is your oyster – you are clearly a natural bohemian. Work those earthy hues and natural materials on your shelves too. Add plants, linen and practical items from your daily life like those shopping baskets and totes and you are ready to go, you natural bohemian!

The Talented Scientist
You are cool, sleek, you like order, graphic lines, you are a purist and approach new projects with a scientific accuracy – I declare you are a talented scientist! And yes, this rubs off to your home decor as well! You like clean lines, monochromatic vignettes, you like typography and sophisticated arrangements. Downsize your decor, group black and white pieces together, add wood for warmth and texture, let it breathe and ponder your next scientific decor endeavour – you are the born talented scientist after all!

The Glamorous Aesthete
Beauty is encoded in your DNA, aesthetics is a dogma you will not fail and you do not have to hide it – you have a glamorous side too. Your styling vignettes speak of your personality – they are beautifully put together, they brim with style, they showcase you’re design aesthetics and they have that highly visible smidge of glamour with shiny pieces made of brass. Oh you just know we all admire you, you glamorous aesthete!

So one question remains: Which decor type are you? If you’re not sure, look around your home or better yet start a tiny vignette project and get styling – what is the result? What is your decor persona after all?

j’adore ♡ hard to pick my style, I guess I’m between the rustic minimalist and the talented scientist (even though if you say that to my Physics husband he might laugh 😉 but I definitely aim to the glamourous aesthete (but who doesn’t?!?). And you Igor? what would you pick for you? je t’embrasse i.

Well looking at these lovely pictures I’m a Creative Reader, who loves a bit of Rustic Minimalism, with a dash of the Eclectic Artist, and just a smidgen of the mad scientist ! Basically I’m complicated, hahaah.

I’m a combo of the glamourous aesthete and the creative reader. I experience the latter as a challenge, too many books to style 🙁 and too happy with all of them to edit it down and store them in the basement.
